Eid al-Adha
or Greater Id is an important festivity celebrated by the Muslims. This festival recalls the sacrifice of
Abraham. He cheerfully accepted God’s order to sacrifice his son Ishmael. His
act made the God’s happy and they intervened to provide him with a sheep to
sacrifice instead. It is also known as Bakr-Id. It lasts for three days. It is
celebrated after the end of the Hajj. It symbolizes obedience to Allah
and its distribution to others is an expression of generosity, one of the five
pillars of Islam.
People

wearing new clothes, giving gifts, visiting the family and friends or give money
to children. People also pray for prosperity and happiness on this holy day.
People also ask for forgiveness for the sins committed in the past. Muslims
greet each other by saying Eid Mubarak. It requests us to makes small
sacrifices, giving up things that are fun or important to us. Lord desires from
it pupils strength of heart, purity in faith, and willing obedience.
